Any luck finding the beauty strips? We need them as well.

Ok thank you! And thank you again for all your expertise!

Yes thank you! We cleaned the cartridges yesterday and have reached the completion of our SLAM process this morning. I have learned a lot through this process. We have passed all 3 steps of clear, CC = .5 and OCLT = 11.5. Thank you all! Long process but it worked!! Now on to removing the...

We have made much progress over the last several days - thank you to TFP! Here are the test results today: FC = 11.5 CC = 1 PH = 7.3 TA = 83 CH = 229 CYA = 49 Our pool has definitely gone from green to a light shade of teal, still with visible staining on liner, returns, skimmers and...

Here are current readings: This is the highest we have had on FC since we started the SLAM process. FC: 2.5 CC: 2.0 (shouldn't this number be closer to .5?) PH: 7.0 TA: 77 CH: 235 CYA:51 I have several more questions: How do we know when the SLAM process is complete? Every time we test the...

We are really struggling with the amount of liquid chlorine we have added to the pool to date. It's well over 65 gallons since July 13th. We are dumbfounded with the amount of chlorine we have added and the readings of FC are still low. The cloudiness is still present, but we can see to the...

Is the pool green because of the metals or the algae?

Our pool water went green again. Here are the test results: FC = .5 PH = 7.0 TA = 62 CH = 209 CYA = 29 We received the FAS-DPD test kit and tested the FC. Results above. We had added Absorbic Acid 4 days ago to get rid of the metal staining, which it did quite nicely. However, we were...

Excellent! That is what we are doing! Thank you so much! We are anticipating receiving the new test kit sometime next week.

Another question: Using the Slam process, do we test every 2-3 hours to see what the FC level is? And after each test, on the Pool Math app, we log the test results and then hit the SLAM button to indicate our SLAM Target FC level? For example, after we added 4 plus gallons of liquid...

We do not have the new test kit yet you recommended. So, are you saying the FC level from our ColorQ test is not really testing for the FC levels? Is this your recommendation? TAYLOR TECHNOLOGIES INC K-2006 TEST KIT COMP CHLORINE FAS-DPD by Taylor

Yes, we are following the SLAM process. But, we think there is a possibility the liquid chlorine could be old. After we added the 4 plus gallons this morning, we waited an hour or so, re-tested and the results of the FC came back with a reading of 1.31 ppm. We would've expected a FC level...

I don’t have a test for metals. In the past, we have thrown in Absorbic Acid and the green would be gone. Test results this morning: FC - 1.31 PH - 7.3 TA- 75 CH - 86 CYA- 38

We are the 3rd day in of the Slam process. We have put in over 12 G of Liquid Chlorine to date. This morning we needed an additional 4 G And 2 qts of liquid chlorine to Slam Based on test results. We added the 4 G of liquid Chlorine and added 3 lbs of granular calcium hydrochlorite (Because we...
